‘Transatlanticism’ and ‘Up’
I put it off yesterday, but I finally went and grabbed Transatlanticism today. It is AWESOME, but that wasn’t ever seriously in doubt. I think my favorite songs are “Title and Registration” (mp3) and the title track.
I just love getting a new album, learning the nuances of it. And learning the lyrics. And then learning to love every last sigh and idiosyncratic warble. It makes life worth living. I am so looking forward to seeing Death Cab again! I’ll be the one that knows all the lyrics this time. :-)
I also managed to pick up Peter Gabriel’s Up for £8. That’s about $12.50; not a great used price, but not terrible. I’m glad to be able to examine the liner notes now. A song off Up is the Song of the Week, but only because I wrote that down before I got Transatlanticism.
I have to get to sleep. I’ve got class at 8:30 tomorrow. Night!
